Honeywell on Tuesday was awarded four contracts worth a
combined $40 million over an 18-month duration for the
Borouge petrochemicals complex in Ruwais,
Abu Dhabi.

Honeywell will be the main automation contractor (MAC) for this
project, providing Linde and other
engineering, procurement and construction (EPCs) contractors
involved in the project with integrated control and
safety systems.

The installation of Honeywell's control and safety systems,
Experion Process Knowledge System C300, Safety
Manager, and Advanced Process Control will allow
for operational integration, improved production,
increased safety and reliability, and maximum operability
and profitability, according to the company.

The Real Time Information Management System will
provide Borouge 3 with business solutions that streamline,
centralize and optimize operations, allowing for further
profitability and productivity, officials said.

Honeywells technologies have previously been implemented
in the Borouge 1 project in 1999 and the Borouge 2 project in 2010, and will continue
to help Borouge meet its goal of expanding capacity of the
plant, making it the largest integrated polyolefins site in the
world.

We continue to see countries in the Middle East, such as
the UAE, invest in growing their petrochemical capacity, as part of
economic diversification
strategies, said Mansour Belhadj, Middle East
sales director for Honeywell Process Solutions.

With the Gulf regions share in the global petrochemical market expected to
grow to 20% by 2015, there is also a corresponding need for
reliable, cost-effective processes, such as the solutions
selected for Borouge 3, which can ensure that operational
efficiencies are an integral part of the growth process," he
added.
